Commercial Description:
Subtlety. That's what makes our Avalanche amber ale such a treat. We blend pale and caramel malts -- and just a kiss of bittering hops -- to create a refreshing-but-flavorful, any-time beer. Aromas of pale grains, a semi-sweet middle and a clean-as-Colorado-snow finish make this our best-selling beer.

Pours amber with a small white head. Nose is malt. Taste is malt and caramel, with a hint of spice. Not bad, not great, but drinkable.

Canned. Slightly hazy amber pour. Small off-white head with short duration and leaves no lace. Grainy malt aroma masks the hops almost completely, I’m not picking up much else. Flavor is malty sweetness up front and just a hint of hop bitterness. Grainy all the way through. Flavors fall flat which leads to a bland finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation, no alcohol warmth. Mediocre overall.

Bottle VA: the description says "Subtlety".... yes indeed, nothing stands out in this brew. Almost has a macro style taste to it, not much complexity, pretty thin overall.

Pours a clear amber with moderate head, mostly diminishing. Reminds me of a Samuel Adams Boston Lager, but maybe one that’s sat around awhile. Biscuit, caramel malts with decent balance. Just not very enlightening. I would gladly partake of if offered, but do not think I will purchase again. Best I can say is kind of like a Sam Adams bastard twin - not up to snuff of the real thing.

Pours a nice copper color with a decent sized off-white head. Smells of biscuits, but there is also a smell of old mustiness as well, but not too strong. Tasted of crystal malts and slightly bitter hops. Thank goodness the finish was short.

Draft. Pours clear amber with white head. Aroma is malty with faint hops. Flavor is malt with very hops and some metalic notes. Palate was a little thin. Average amber.

Aroma - sweet malty aroma, no hops detected App - light brown Flavor - medium malt flavor, very little hops, not bold by any stretch of the imagination. Palate - moderate carbonation, light body Overall - middle of the road beer, drinkable but not inspiring.
